WARNING

■

To prevent injury

Before performing any light bulb

replacement procedure, be sure

to turn the engine switch off. Fail-

from hot components or a part of

your body may get caught on an

operating component, possibly

causing serious injury.

■

Replacing light bulbs

●

Turn off the lights. Do not

attempt to replace the bulb

immediately after turning off the

lights. The bulbs become very

hot and may cause burns.

●

Do not touch the glass portion

of the light bulb with bare

hands. When it is unavoidable

to hold the glass portion, use

and hold with a clean dry cloth

to avoid getting moisture and

oils on the bulb. Also, if the bulb

is scratched or dropped, it may

blow out or crack.

●

Fully install light bulbs and any

parts used to secure them. Fail-

ure to do so may result in heat

damage, fire, or water entering

the light unit. This may damage

the lights or cause condensa-

tion to build up on the lens.

■

To prevent damage or fire

●

Make sure bulbs are fully

seated and locked.

●

Check the wattage of the bulb

before installing to prevent heat

damage.

When using a flat-bed truck to
transport the vehicle, use tire
strapping belts. Refer to the
owner's manual of the flat-bed
truck for the tire strapping
method.

In order to suppress vehicle
movement during transporta-
tion, set the parking brake and
turn the engine switch off.

If a tow truck is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may
be temporarily towed using
cables or chains secured to the
emergency towing eyelet. This
should only be attempted on
hard surfaced roads for at most
50 miles (80 km) at under 18
mph (30 km/h).

A driver must be in the vehicle to
steer and operate the brakes.
The vehicle’s wheels, drive train,
axles, steering and brakes must
be in good condition.

To have your vehicle towed by
another vehicle, the towing eye-
let must be installed to your
vehicle. Install the towing eyelet

using the following procedure.

Take out the wheel nut
wrench and towing eyelet.
(

If none of the tires are punctured:

Turn the engine switch off then turn

it to ON. Check if the tire pressure

warning light comes on or blinks.



If the tire pressure warning light

blinks for approximately 1 minute

then stays on

There may be a malfunction in the

tire pressure warning system. Have

the vehicle inspected by your Toyota

dealer immediately.



If the tire pressure warning light

comes on

After the temperature of the tires

has lowered sufficiently, check

the inflation pressure of each tire

and adjust them to the specified

level.

If the warning light does not turn

off even after several minutes

have elapsed, check that the

inflation pressure of each tire is

at the specified level and perform

initialization. (



P.365)

■

The tire pressure warning light

may come on due to natural

causes

The tire pressure warning light may

come on due to natural causes such

as natural air leaks and tire inflation

pressure changes caused by tem-

perature. In this case, adjusting the

tire inflation pressure will turn off the

warning light (after a few minutes).

■

When a tire is replaced with a

spare tire

The compact spare tire is not

equipped with a tire pressure warn-

ing valve and transmitter. If a tire

goes flat, the tire pressure warning

light will not turn off even though the

flat tire has been replaced with the

spare tire. Replace the spare tire

with the repaired tire and adjust the

tire inflation pressure. The tire pres-

sure warning light will go off after a

few minutes.

WARNING

■

If both the ABS and the brake

system warning lights remain

Stop your vehicle in a safe place

immediately and contact your Toy-

ota dealer.

The vehicle will become

extremely unstable during brak-

ing, and the ABS system may fail,

which could cause an accident

resulting in death or serious injury.

WARNING

■

When the electric power

steering system warning light

comes on

When the light comes on yellow,

the assist to the power steering is

restricted. When the light comes

on red, the assist to the power

steering is lost and handling oper-

ations of the steering wheel

become extremely heavy.

When steering wheel operations

are heavier than usual, grip the

steering wheel firmly and operate

it using more force than usual.

■

If the tire pressure warning

light comes on

Be sure to observe the following

precautions.

Failure to do so could cause a

loss of vehicle control and result

in death or serious injury.

●

Stop your vehicle in a safe place

as soon as possible. Adjust the

tire inflation pressure immedi-

ately.

●

If the tire pressure warning light

comes on even after tire infla-

tion pressure adjustment, it is

probable that you have a flat

tire. Check the tires. If a tire is

flat, change it with the spare tire

and have the flat tire repaired by

the nearest Toyota dealer.

●

Avoid abrupt maneuvering and

braking.

If the vehicle tires deteriorate,

you could lose control of the

steering wheel or the brakes.

■

If a blowout or sudden air

leakage should occur

The tire pressure warning system

may not activate immediately.

■

Maintenance of the tires

Each tire, including the spare (if

provided), should be checked

monthly when cold and inflated to

the inflation pressure recom-

mended by the vehicle manufac-

turer on the vehicle placard or tire

inflation pressure label (tire and

load information label). (If your

vehicle has tires of a different size

than the size indicated on the

vehicle placard or tire inflation

pressure label [tire and load infor-

mation label], you should deter-

mine the proper tire inflation

pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your

vehicle has been equipped with a

tire pressure monitoring system

(TPMS-tire pressure warning sys-

tem) that illuminates a low tire

pressure telltale (tire pressure

warning light) when one or more

of your tires is significantly

under-inflated. Accordingly, when

the low tire pressure telltale (tire

pressure warning light) illumi-

nates, you should stop and check

your tires as soon as possible,

and inflate them to the proper

pressure. Driving on a signifi-

cantly under-inflated tire causes

the tire to overheat and can lead

to tire failure. Under-inflation also

reduces fuel efficiency and tire

tread life, and may affect the vehi-

cle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire

pressure warning system) is not a

substitute for proper tire mainte-

nance, and it is the driver’s

responsibility to maintain correct

tire pressure, even if under-infla-

tion has not reached the level to

trigger illumination of the TPMS

low tire pressure telltale (tire pres-

sure warning light).

WARNING

Your vehicle has also been

equipped with a TPMS (tire pres-

sure warning system) malfunc-

tion indicator to indicate when the

system is not operating properly.

The TPMS (tire pressure warning

system) malfunction indicator is

combined with the low tire pres-

sure telltale (tire pressure warning

light). When the system detects a

malfunction, the telltale will flash

for approximately one minute and

then remain continuously illumi-

nated. This sequence will con-

tinue upon subsequent vehicle

start-ups as long as the malfunc-

tion exists. When the malfunction

indicator is illuminated, the sys-

tem may not be able to detect or

signal low tire pressure as

intended.
TPMS (tire pressure warning sys-

tem) malfunctions may occur for a

variety of reasons, including the

installation of replacement or

alternate tires or wheels on the

vehicle that prevent the TPMS

(tire pressure warning system)

from functioning properly. Always

check the TPMS (tire pressure

warning system) malfunction tell-

tale after replacing one or more

tires or wheels on your vehicle to

ensure that the replacement or

alternate tires and wheels allow

the TPMS (tire pressure warning

system) to continue to function

properly.

NOTICE

■

To ensure the tire pressure

warning system operates

properly

Do not install tires with different

specifications or makers, as the

tire pressure warning system may

not operate properly.
